Bruschetta?

Hello again,

My parents had to go to an event for my brother's school this evening, so I had the option of going out and buying dinner or getting creative in the kitchen. I was craving Mexican food but I know rice and beans and tortillas are not the best items to consume. Soooo I decided to make bruschetta. Luckily I found one tomato left in the fridge! We didn't have fresh garlic or french bread so I improvised.

Ingredients:
       Basil Leaf
       Tomato
       Garlic or Garlic Powder
       Olive Oil
       French Bread/Garlic Cheese Bread
       Salt



Directions:
       1. Wash the tomato and basil
       2. Slice the tomato and remove the seeds with a spoon



       3. Dice the tomato and slice the basil

       4. Place tomato, basil, and olive oil into a bowl
       5. Add salt and garlic/garlic powder to taste
       6. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes developing flavors.
       7. While waiting, toast some bread
       8. Let the bread cool
       9. When cool, top it off with your tomato mixture 
       10. Enjoy!


This is my final result. I left my basil in large pieces because I personally do not like eating basil.  I do enjoy the flavor though so after letting the mixture sit I picked out the basil. If you don't mind the basil slice your basil into thin pieces. I did not include specific measurements because they will vary based on the size of the tomato and preference. To add to my meal I grabbed some broccoli for color and freshness. I also placed tofu in a bowl which I sprinkled sugar onto and drizzled some soy sauce over the top. I enjoyed every bit of my dinner. It was as if I had planned the meal ahead of time!

So when you need a quick meal/snack try making bruschetta!!

Puppy Pedi!

Hello friends!

I let Chester go this afternoon. He didn't understand to crawl out of the opening to get to freedom so I had to slowly tilt the bowl. I was sad to see him leave. I looked him up online and turns out he is a baby alligator lizard! So cool right? My dad was watering the lawn this evening and he said "guess who I saw when I was watering?" I was like hmmmm...Chester?! He said yup and I was so happy that hes doing well.

I love to paint my nails so I decided to paint my baby's nails today! She is a two year old doggie of 11 lbs. At first she was not cooperating. After five minutes she kind of went into a trance . . . She seemed petrified too. To do her nails I used two coats of a pearl polish, two coats of thin pink, two coats of glitter, and one layer of seche vite top coat. I know I know. That is a lot for just a dog, but she's special and I am somewhat a perfectionist.



She did move a few times so in the end I had pink and pearl colored spots all over my arm. Here's the final result. Her nails match her new collar and leash! I love how it makes her look so girly. Maybe I will give her a little pedi every month!




SJ and I went to Big Lots last night and I bought multiple items. I have been using this three wick, vanilla frosting scented candle the most though. I love how candles make me feel calm and relaxed. They are just so peaceful!

I have mentioned April from AprilAthena7 in previous posts and she recently got a PO box. So while SJ and I were browsing the aisles at Big Lots, I found the purfect mug! It is a bit plain so I thought it would be a good project for me. I grabbed my mom's box of sharpies and got to work. It's not done quite yet, but when it is done I will make sure to show
you guys!

What A Day

Hello there my lovely readers,

Today SJ and I decided to try a newly discovered Indian food place. A few weeks ago I couldn't sleep because I was randomly craving Indian food . . . not sure why though. I have only had Indian food once. At 11am I was supposed to be at SJ's house to pick him up since he didn't have access to a car today. I actually woke up early around 8 and decided I wanted to dress up. Not for any particular reason but I just wanted to. I did my makeup, I chose a skirt, tank top, and my wedges. The skirt I got over a year ago for only $6 at Forever21! My top I recently purchased at Target for only $6 as well, regular price $17. Finally my black and neon yellow wedges that I got on sale at Kohls (pictured in a previous blog post)! I know that people may say my shoes don't match my outfit but I disagree. In my opinion the style is perfect and the neon color adds to the bright colors that contrast the black! Guess I felt a little daring today lol Oh and yes, I am STILL wearing my grad night wristband!


I promised my sister that I would post about the Indian food so here we go. The restaurant was small, dark, and very warm so SJ and I decided to get food to go. There menu is reasonably priced.



I ordered the vegetable entree plate. It came with salad, rice, vegetable samosa, and naan. I wanted garlic naan so we had to pay extra, but it's ok! SJ got the chicken entree plate. It was a very satisfying meal at a great price. Cost less than $14 for both of our meals. Even with the extra cost of garlic naan. I had my wallet out ready to pay when SJ pulled out $15 to pay for both our meals. It was so sweet of him to pay. Thanks SJ!

After SJ devoured his food, he set up the next Harry Potter movie for us to watch. Not sure why but I really like watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Watching movies allows my mind to kind of rest and wander. It's like a break from reality.






SJ and I came back to my house for dinner. My dad made some sort of beef stir fry and I surprisingly ate it. It wasn't bad. Tasted a bit sweet and I love how broccoli soaks up the sauce. I exchanged my carrots for SJ's broccoli. I was trying to be sneaky, but he didn't seem to mind when he caught me. He recently went camping and I made him a paracord bracelet to wear. I seem to have miscalculated because it was a bit snug on his wrist. So I made him another one that he got to try on today. The second bracelet fits him well so I decided to take the original bracelet. That way he and I can match! I had fun making the bracelets. I thought it would be difficult to create, but it wasn't hard at all! SJ loves his bracelet and I can tell he truly does based on the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes.

Had a fun day, thanks to my SJ!

The Lovely Lizard

Good mornin!

I would like to share an interesting story with you. This story starts off with me realizing I have to pee lol yes I said pee. So as usual, I walk into my bathroom, shut the door, etc. Once I am sitting on the oval office I look at the floor across from me and see a critter! This has happened to me many times in the past. The only difference is that what I saw was not a spider, an earwig, or a pill bug. It was a lizard!! Once I realized what was staring at me, I lifted my feet off the ground (as if this would save me from the beast). I also let out a scream..my mom said I scared my dog. I normally just get a tissue to squish a small bug or use tape to tape bigger bugs to the floor but this time I had no idea what to do. I knew I did not want to kill or injure the lizard in any way so I decided to take the bag out of our small trash can and put it over the lizard.

Before I could put my plan in action, the lizard scurried out under the door. Of course I flipped out. So after doing my business, I quickly rushed out of the bathroom holding the trashcan steady in my hands. You know how
critters like to crawl in the crack where the wall meets the floor? Well that is exactly where the lizard was -.- I didn't want to risk cutting off one of his legs so I kept my eye on him in hopes that he would come away from the wall. He stayed along the wall then climbed up onto where my mom keeps her weights. I waited for him to come out to the carpet but I didn't see him any longer. I crouched down to get a better look and of course he had to be staring right at me! So I screamed/squealed and jumped back. After trying to coax him out from under some weights I managed to trap him under the trashcan.

I will admit that I have trapped multiple things under bowls, pails, cups, etc. So I know that they can sometimes magically find a way out. I didn't want him getting out and scaring me again so I put some weights on top of the trashcan to hold it down.

Chester does magic tricks! He is balancing a water droplet on his head!
Later in the evening, my dad managed to move the lizard from the floor into a plastic fishbowl. Don't worry, the lizard was not thrown into the fishbowl by any means. I wanted to get a better, and safer view of the little guy. My dad put some dirt, rocks, and sand into the bowl. I also added a nice little water bowl for him. Turns out he is very cute! I think I have actually become attached to him. sadly mom says I have to put him back outside later today. I know it's for the best though because we have no idea what type he is. B-Hong (from the classes post) told me I should name the lizard. It was hilarious when the first name he suggested was my dad's name! In the end, B-Hong and I agreed on the name Chester. I think it suits the little guy.

Well I hope yo enjoyed my lovely lizard bathroom story!

Cream Cheese Tomato And Bacon Crescent Flat Bread!?

Hello again,


I love pizza, I love cream cheese, I love bacon, I love crescent rolls so why not combine them all?? Today I decided to make cream cheese tomato and bacon crescent flat breads. Yes I know it is a very long name for such a small dinner item! They are quick and easy to make too! Want to make them?

       2 cans of crescent rolls
       8 oz cream cheese
       two medium tomatoes
       18 strips of bacon

Directions:
       1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

       3. Cook the bacon till crisp and place on a paper towel to dry
       4. Cut the crisp bacon into small pieces
       5. Unroll your crescent roll dough but keep two triangles connected to create a rectangle

Classes XP

Hey there,

My assigned date for registration is coming near. College scheduling gives students so much more freedom that high school. I could have classes at 7am or even 9pm! Today I have been playing around with this thing call a class pre-planner. This online device allows students to create multiple sample schedules. It shows the whole week and starts at 7am and goes till 10pm. I can choose a class and it will give me all the options as far as teachers, times, and locations. After selecting a lecture, it provides me with discussion options. A discussion is a smaller group of students that is led by a TA. Sooo when it came to making my schedules I had to write down all my options and do some good old trial and error experimentation. Here's a picture of how I wrote out the time, teachers, locations, etc. I know it isn't really legible, but you get the idea. I LOVE to color coordinate because I feel that it helps me see clearly. If anyone needs help with class planning let me know! Use colors and multiple papers! It makes it very easy to plan your schedule.

My friend, whom we shall name B-Hong (lolz),is a year older than I, helped me figure out if I would be able to get from class to class in my 10 minute gap between classes. Thanks to him I changed a few things around and managed to end classes at 2pm on three out of the five days. Sounds good to me! Then I have the whole afternoon/evening to do as I please!

Cheeseburger Egg rolls?

Hey there,

I know that egg rolls are supposed to have some sort of meat and cabbage and carrots, etc. I decided to make cheeseburger egg rolls along with some teriyaki (for some odd reason teriyaki looks like it is spelled wrong...) tofu egg rolls for dinner. My family and I are trying to consume less carbs, sugars, fat, etc so I thought baking the egg rolls would save us from oil and greasiness. Trying to make two different egg rolls that require so much work is quite difficult. I invited SJ for dinner so had a bit of help from him. I was running around the kitchen like a chicken with its head chopped off lol They were supposed to look like this, but I didn't want to add the sesame seeds. My egg rolls looked naked.. My mom told me that she didn't think she would like them, but ended up being surprised by them. She dipped the cheeseburger egg rolls into a mix of ketchup and mustard. I was afraid that there would be too much meat and not enough carb, but nobody seemed to complain. I ate the tofu egg rolls and had some teriyaki sauce to dip it in. Not bad for not having much of a recipe lol

Turns out we only had two egg rolls left, one of each. I thought nobody would eat them and that I would eventually have to throw them out but apparently my brother ate them for breakfast. My mom was even looking for leftovers in the fridge for lunch today. Glad they liked what I whipped together! Maybe I will have to make them again.

Tea Rose Garden

Hello,

Remember those days when you were little and loved to play tea time? Well my mom and I went to the Tea Rose Garden in Pasadena the other day. This place is so adorable! When you walk into the store/place you feel as if you are outside kind of between some houses. The ceiling is painted blue with some nice fluffy white clouds. As you can see, the walls have like parts of houses on them to add to the outdoors feel. It is such a relaxing place. The music is all instrumental and calming. The seating seems a bit crowded, but it's just perfect. I think adding the street lights and the fountain make the theme.



Every time I go to the Tea Rose Garden, I order their cucumber sandwiches. They are to die for! My sister's mom used to make her little cucumber tomato sandwiches that she would bring for lunch and on the occasion be so kind as to share with me. Those are the closest I have had to the Tea Rose Garden's sandwiches. Mom and I both got the "English Tea" which is the name of the packaged deal. English Tea includes a cookie, fruit, choice of tea, sandwich, and a scone. I love peach so of course I chose the peach tea. For my scone I ordered the lemon raspberry scone. To the left you can see that they bring out the foods on a three tiered display. Each table has a cute little bunch of flowers, a glass of sugar cubes, and a table cloth. I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed all of my food. I had to pace myself with the sandwiches because I would have inhaled them all in a jiffy lol No matter how old I am I always feel more grown up when I pour hot tea into a beautiful tea cup on a saucer!

Since it is a flower shop as well, the back half of the store has a station where the workers put together arrangements. My mom and I sat next to this display case that held some of their vivid assortment of flowers. I love love love the pink/purple/magenta daisy in the top right side of the display. I mean wouldn't seeing that flower just brighten your day?

Before leaving I decided to use the restroom and found that they redecorated since my last visit. How cool is that? They added some decals, gems, candle holders, etc. makes it seem more fancy no?

If you are ever in Pasadena and in the mood for tea, definitely give Tea Rose Garden a visit!

A Day Of Relaxation

Hi friends,

Yesterday SJ and I went out for the first time in over two weeks. Our day started at 9 am when we met at Starbucks. I got my favorite sandwich and he got a ham and swiss. We didn't talk much though. I think we were too busy enjoying our yummy sandwiches! After Starbucks we swung by my house so I could pack some goodies and jump into his car. I decided that neither of us should have to spend a ton of money or time prepping food for the picnic so I found a coupon for KFC. When I was younger I had a bad incident with KFC. I got really sick and I never wanted to go back, but I figured I should give it another chance. So there we were ordering our KFC meals that ended up costing about $6 total for the two of us. Not bad right? We each got two pcs of chicken, a side, a biscuit, and a drink. I wanted to surprise SJ so the night before our date I made another cheesecake flan. My mom even baked some Japanese sweet potatoes just for him!

We got to the park and found a spot in the shade to set up. The grass was slightly damp though so I had a few wet patches on my booty..they eventually dried lol When I showed him the goodies I brought his face lit up. To be honest, I was the one that requested our next date be a picnic. I just wanted some time to be outside and relax. Here's what I saw while I was on my back at the park. It is not the best picture, but watching the breeze blow through the trees was so calming. I felt as if all my problems had disappeared . . .

SJ wanted to go back to his place sooner than I had hoped. So we packed up and as we walked back to the car I took a photo of the area we had our picnic at.

We are still on the Harry Potter series so when we got to his house we watched the fourth movie. I realized that this movie had very little footage of the main characters actually in school. The movie was like 95% tournament. I feel like it was an odd Harry Potter movie. I will admit that I once was obsessed with Hermione's ball dress. Almost ordered one back when the movie first came out. The day ended with a quick drive thru Starbucks for their $2 cold grande drink promotion. I got myself a green tea latte. Good stuff.

Thank you for a rather relaxing day SJ and I hope you are feeling a bit better.

Daiso!

Hello,

My aunt and my cousin have been meaning to take me to a Japanese $1.50 store for quite some time now. We got to go yesterday! It was very overwhelming due to all of the people, colors, products, and languages being spoken. They had so many different products. I saw fake plants, bags, nail polish, food, dishes, school supplies, you name it. I had to slowly stroll up and down each aisle and take it all in. There was so much stuff that I wanted to buy, but I have been good at separating needs and wants. In the end I bought a peach air freshener, peach gummies, and strawberry filled marshmallows. I didn't need need them . . . but I badly wanted them lol

I am definitely going back to that store!

Long Beach?

Hello...Long time no read? lol

My job has been very confusing and annoying due to my boss' unorganized way of doing things. She is only in the office a few days out of the week. She never texts or emails me my work info. She rarely gives me more than a four day notice for work. The worst thing is that she always gets her dates confused. Soooo long story short I was supposed to work Thursday, but she called me Tuesday sating I am working Wednesday not Thursday. I told her she signed me up for Thursday but she denies it. I said okay I will work Wednesday because she said no work on Thursday. Wednesday she asked me if I could work Friday, Saturday, or Sunday or more. I said yes to Friday and Saturday. Then Thursday evening rolls around and I am cooking dinner when my phone starts to vibrate. My boss was calling me to ask if I was on my way into the office because I was already 15 minutes late. I told her she said I was only working Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. She said nooooo I am working Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I assume you are as confused as I was when I got that call. She kept telling me that she never had me down for the days I was claiming to have agreed to. So I asked my dad to finish cooking dinner for me while I raced up stairs to change. My mom even stopped working to take me to work. As I was putting my shoes on in the car, my boss calls saying "Oh don't worry about coming in. It is getting too late." My mom was furious! I was pissed too! So in the end I lost two days I could have worked. Those two days equal to about $80-100 I could have made. All of this because she can't organize and do her job.

I have recently become a driver for my job. This means that I drive the company vehicle to an event and back. A few days ago I drove a Jeep Cherokee. On Friday I drove a Taho..that car was HUGE!I do not like to drive and driving this car was not the best thing.. I got to work at two and tried to mentally prepare myself to drive to Long Beach which is about an hour drive away. Luckily my boss printed me out directions so my coworker could read them to me in the car. I also borrowed my mom's GPS. Remember, I am only 5 foot so I must have looked rather odd driving such a monstrous vehicle. It took about an hour to drive there. There was stop and go traffic on the way there. When Jordan, my coworker, and I arrived at the event we were told that the LA County Fair was not on her list, that the lady we were to give a $1,600 check to was sick and therefore absent, and that we had to wait to get a parking pass or pay $10. So Jordan and I had to try to work things out to get a booth while we waited for our pass. He and I expected to get there, unload all the boxes, and park the car.

I feel like there so many road bumps on our journey that day. Eventually he and I got to set up at an open booth. After setting up we had to drive a block away to park the car and walk all the way back. It wasn't even 5 pm and we were sweating like pigs. The event, a BBQ fest, went smooth and I got to try a hotato! A hotato is a swirled potato on a stick.. I chose the bacon and cheddar flavor! It was quite tasty and I got it for free because they knew I was a vendor. They were so nice!

Here's one of the BBQ stands. There were quite a few of them. Well no duh lol but still.

We were supposed to leave the event at 10 pm but we left later than that. The drive home wasn't bad, but I could tell I was getting very tired. Good news is we got back to work safely, bad news is we were locked out of the building. After trying multiple doors, we walked over to security asked for help. A nice security lady let us into the building and it was 12:05 am when I finally clocked out. It was a very long day. I must say I never want to be driving at 11 pm from Long Beach!

First Day Of School


It has been a while...

My brother had his first day of high school yesterday so I took him to school and stayed a bit to talk to a few teachers. SJ was there too so he walked around with me. I enjoyed visiting my Econ, precal, and anatomy teacher. I love them all so much and my econ teacher gave me some knowledgable advice on how to handle something that has been bothering me. He's one of the easiest people to talk to. I also handled some issues with the lunch ladies.

After the whole school visit, I had to go to WinCo to purchase ingredients to make this melt in your mouth cream cheese/cheesecake flan for my brother. He, along with some other people, love this flan I make so I thought it would be a nice gesture to bake some up for my brother. While I was baking I watched some WWK with April and Justin. 








Here's the final result! It only makes 8 slices and I think I could eat all 8 slices...but I have to share lol I told my brother that I made him some snacks and he asked what it was but I told him it was a surprise. I must say that he was very happy with the surprise.




When I went to bed last night I honestly felt like I was going to high school again. Not sure if it is because I wish I could go back or because I woke up early and got ready to go.

Spankie Valintine

Hi again,

I love to mess with my hair. I braid it over night. I twist it over night. I try all sorts of heat-less overnight ways to curl my hair. I normally put six braids max but last night I did a total of 16...ikr. My family looked at me strange and all but I wanted to try it out. It took over 30 mins to go from hair in a towel to 16 braids. My hands and arms started to hurt too. If you have never braided hair before try doing it for just 10 mins and you will understand. So this is the final result. I LOVE it. It is something new and fun. I know some people in this world have hair that naturally looks like this and would love to have my natural hair. I just wanted to test out the look. In my opinion my hair looks like Spankie Valentine's hair! Just shorter.. Not sure yet if I would wear it out though. Should I?

Need Fruites and Veggies!

Morning to you all,

I have been eating fried, greasy, carby stuff lately so I thought I would start the day off, at 11:30 am lol, with some fruites and veggies. I weigh myself daily and my mom's scale has been lying to us all so I haven't been sure of my weight. I got on the scale today and it told me 88.8 which seems reasonable for me. Normally weigh between 89 and 91 maybe.

Do you guys ever eat a ton of bad food and crave fresh food? My sister and I would eat bad food and then be like I need a piece of fruit. It just makes everything better somehow. Like magic! So this is my breakfast. I have a strawberry banana smoothie I blended up real quick, a nectarine, miso dip, a cucumber, and some dried mangoes from Hawaii! I have been in a cucumber phase I think. I have had like five whole ones in the last few days. They are just so crisp and refreshing. Tricks me into feeling healthy lol

What do you guys eat for breakfast?

"Easy" Up

Good morning/evening,

Work was rather interesting today.... So I don't waste your time I will just share some of the highlights of my work day.

Highlight 1- The other day when I went to work I got to meet a new coworker. I don't normally work with just me and a girl so I was kind of excited when I realized it would be just me and her. Maybe that sounds creepy...but I just mean having a girl to talk to could be more fun than talking to a guy lol Here's our table set up btw. Ain't it purdy?



Highlight 2- I am only 5' and I got to attempt to move an easy up that was taller than I am.. The easy up was on the second floor so I had to drag it over to the elevator. It does have two wheels but the easy up is in really bad condition so it doesn't always work as well as it should. Let me tell you, these things are NOT light. While I was dragging it into the elevator, the door closed on it lol my coworker and I started busting up. After we stopped laughing she helped me drag the other half into the elevator. When the elevator door opened to the first floor I tried to wheel the easy up out of the elevator and as it was almost all the way out, the door closed on it. Thus tipping the easy up on the side without wheels. My coworker and I were laughing so hard. I eventually stood the easy up up and as I looked to the ceiling I saw one of the security cameras. Whoever was on duty must have gotten a kick out of watching me struggle.. My coworker and I brought down the easy up (black boxy thing), two chairs, the poster, a fold-able table, and a bin that must weigh at least 20 pounds. Sad thing was that when the easy up was finally opened we realized our boss left us one of the broken ones. So we had to sit in the sun for half the day. I now have rather interesting red arms thanks to my grad night writ band and jewelry..


Highlight 3- Curly fries! I know...I am doing a horrible job with trying to eat healthy. I just love curly fries though! My coworker and I split this lovely batch of curly fries. We had to keep walking back to the food truck because we underestimated our ability to consume ketchup lol

I know I made it sound like I would share a bunch of highlights but three will have to do it for today.

Hope everyone slept/is sleeping well.

Steaming Pot

Good morning,

I had to get up at 8:38 today and my body did not want to get out of bed. My dogie had the same mindset because she was curled up in the covers with me. I eventually rolled out of bed and realized it is sooo cold! I couldn't eat cold food so I decided it is an oatmeal day. As my water was boiling I stood there with my hands and arms over the pot so I could attempt to warm up. I am not much of a tea drinker but since it is so darn cold ima have me some tea.

Gota get ready for the reptile show today!

Santa Anita Mall

Hello,

My family and I went to the mall to see a movie and shop a bit. When we were walking through the food court I saw a cakeball stand!! Look how interesting they look. They are not cheap either! I was like dang I could sell mine and make money!


Then my mom and I saw RIPD. We have heard bad reviews on the movie but I enjoyed the movie. It was not super crazy funny but it was good. My mom and I got our Godiva chocolate samples for the month. I didn't know they had pistachio! So I just had to try it because I love pistachio. Here's a picture for you chocolate lovers!












My dad and I went into this store. I have never heard of this store before and I was so excited to go inside because of the lights. Lat year SJ was so kind and he bought me one for my room. When we walked into the store I felt like I was in a different country..there were so many Japanese products that I've never seen! I was telling my sister, I think, that some stores have falsies on a stick so you can hold them up to your eye to see which you like best before you purchase them. Guess what I found?! Yea they had some!


I walked pass this display in the window and was like the Tour Eiffel is cute. But then I was like something is wrong here... Is it just me or does it look like little kids hung themselves? I think that store should reconsider their display.


I am not a big fan of meat so this may come as a surprise to some of you. My brother chose CPK for dinner and guess what I ordered? I got the thin crust meat lovers pizza. IKR! I got it without the spicy meats though because I can not handle spiciness very well. I feel like I was just not made to eat healthy..I will try though. I do blot my pizza like crazy though. The amount of grease on my pizza is so disturbing. I think I used at least four big napkins to soak it up...

It has been a long day and surprisingly I bought nothing at the mall. I just didn't feel like shopping I guess. Going through Forever21 and Wet Seal and Charlotte Russe and all isn't the same anymore...

Unhealthy breakfast...

Hello again...

I went to bed craving a cookie or a nice fresh mango boba so I made myself a cookie in a mug for breakfast! I like my cookies more crisp but for a microwave cookie it's not bad. To satisfy my mango craving I had some of my mango Arizona Ice Tea from little Saigon! Plus my uncle brought dried mango from Hawaii. Yum! Oh and I am going to take one of my Japanese snacks to the movies!

Ttyl!
